Government of Anguilla's Response to Coronavirus (COVID-19) Pandemic

The Government of Anguilla is committed to providing the necessary information to help us all deal with this new pandemic. While the situation continues to unfold around us, we are committed to doing our best to keep you informed. As we continue to pay attention to the emergency measures being put in place by other countries around the world, especially our neighbours within the Caribbean, we continue to ask for the public's support in stemming the propogation of this virus by maintaining good hygeinic practices. See section below on preventive measures.

With this in mind, the general public is asked to use official media channels, such as this page for accurate and timely information pertaining to this developing situation. If you have questions about COVID-19 the Ministry of Health & Social Development has set up a hotline at 1-264-476-7627 or 476-SOAP for persons seeking general information about or feel they have been exposed to COVID-19. Another partner in the fight against COVID-19 and other infectious diseases is the Health Authority of Anguilla, who can be reached at 1-264-497-2551.

How to protect yourself and those around you.

Vaccines are the most effect form of protection against the Covid-19 pandemic. Currently there are four vaccines approved by the Government of Anguilla for entry into the Island:

• Pfizer/BioNTech (2 doses)
• Oxford/AstraZeneca (2 doses)
• Moderna (2 doses)
• Janssen/Johnson and Johnson (1 dose)

It is important to note that the aim of these Vaccines are to prevent serious illness (that may result in hospitalization or death) and to reduce the rate of transmission. Fully vaccinated persons can still possibly be infected (though it wont be life threatening ) and can still potentially transmit the virus. With that being said It is strongly recommended by the Ministry of Health & Social Development and the Health Authority of Anguilla:

• To frequently wash your hands with soap and water for at least 18 seconds after you have been in a public place or after blowing your nose, coughing or sneezing.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.
• Since the virus needs a host to survive, practicing social distancing of at least 6 feet should help to minimize the risk of passing on or contracting the virus.
